I understand where mil (mother-in-law) is coming from and I would do that for myself (glass of water pinch of sugar and a pinch of salt) its homemade dyoralyte but as lo is little I wouldn't want to risk getting the mixture wrong so I would just stick to dyoralyte. It will keep lo hydrated. Just put it in a bottle and give little and often. NHS has a good list of symptoms to look out for. I wouldn't go to a&e but maybe call out if hrs drs or 111. As horrible as it is there is nothing they can do unless lo is dehydrated :( but tummy bugs usually pass quickly. Hope lo is feeling better soon xz
